Supervisors find variance, not amendment the answer in Rappahannock Lakes zoning oy uArmxti nu ilmiinsuin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Whether John Hur will get to build his lakeside house will be decided by Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals. After lengthy debate at Monday’s board meeting, the Rappahannock Supervisors concluded that the legal knot presented by non-conforming lots in the old Rappahannock Lakes subdivision should be untied by the BZA through the variance process and not with a general amendment to the county’s zoning ordinance. “This is a prime candidate for a variance ... It would be very unwise to rezone (the late 1950s development which predates Rappahannock’s land use oridnances),” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. “There’s no mistake in our zoning ordinance. The mistake came previous to our zoning ordinance. To rezone it now would only aggravate the problem and complicate things in the future . . . Everything about it smells of bad planning.” “It’s something that must be looked at on a caseby-case basis,” agreed Supervisor Mike Massie. This particular problem in Rappahannock Lakes arises from substandard lot size. The lot for which Mr. Hur is the contract buyer is 90 feet wide at its broadest point: zoning regulations stipulate that a structure must be 50 feet from adjoining property lines on each side. The lot is 150 feet deep: subtracting 50 feet from the already approved and installed septic field to lake shore, 20 feet from septic field to house (both setbacks established by the state Health Department), about three feet for the septic field itself, and 75 feet for the building setback from the front property line leaves 2 feet for a house. State enabling legislation and local ordinances provide for variances to zoning regulations so that dwellings can be built on such non-conforming “grandfathered” lots, holdovers from the days before development standards were established. In considering a variance, the BZA must find that: -- ~T*-:-;-— Jail kitchen may *~eost $100,000 John McCarthy told the supervisors on Monday that architectural firms contacted in Warrenton and Charlottesville estimate the cost of a kitchen addition at about $100,000. He noted that the county’s arrangement with the Hampton Inn “is in place and will remain in place for at least another year.” Under the terms of the contract, it is automatically extended until April 1, 1989, unless either the Board of Supervisors or Mildred Cebula, proprietor of the restaurant, gave notice to terminate in writing by March 1. No such notice was given by the county or received from Mrs. Cebula, Mr. McCarthy reported. The restaurant, however, has been closed to the public since February 28, although meals have continued to be provided for jail inmates. Mrs. Cebula has announced that she is filing suit against Sheriff John Henry Woodward for damages arising from his comments regarding the quality of the restaurant’s food service. She said Monday that her lawyer, Robert O’Neill of Front Royal, was to file the lawsuit that day or on Tuesday. However, when the Clerk’s Office closed Tuesday afternoon no papers had been filed, according to Clerk Diane Bruce. In addition, the Hampton Inn is now listed for sale with Cosner Reality of Gainesville for $150,000, down $50,000 from her original asking price, Mrs. Cebula confirmed by telephone this Tuesday. • Strict application of the zoning regulations would result in undue hardship approaching confiscation by effectively prohibiting or unreasonably restricting the use of the property. • The hardship is not of such a general and recurring nature as to be correctable by an amendment to the zoning ordinance. • Issuance would not be of substantial detriment to adjoining properties or change the character of the neighborhood. The BZA stumbled over the second finding, ruling that similar setback problems existed for many of the 40 or so unimproved lots in the 70-lot subdivision. Accordingly, the BZA concluded that the issue should be addressed by the Board of Supervisors through an amendment to the zoning ordinance. . Zoning administrator John McCarthy disagreed, maintaining that (1) the setback problem is different with each Rappahannock Lakes lot, and (2) rezoning to a denser zoning district or a new zoning category,, with less stringent setback regulations on either option, might constitute illegal “spot zoning" and would certainly be inconsistent with good zoning practices and the goals and objectives of the county’s comprehensive land use plan. Under the county’s zoning ordinance, a non-conforming lot does not qualify for a variance if it has ever been under the same ownership with an adjoining, mergable lot. Of the 40 unimproved lots in Rappahannock Lakes, 12, including Mr. Hur’s, belong to singlelot owners, Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors on Monday. And of that 12, “definitely four lots and probably five or six can meet the existing setback regulations. So you have a half-dozen to a dozen potential variance applications." Rappahannock Lakes is an island of three or four dwelling units per acre surrounded by agriculturallyzoned land with a density of one dwelling unit per 25 acres. The county’s 1986 decision to rezone the subdivi sion to rural residential with a density of one dwelling unit per five acres was an attempt to prevent that dense development pattern from intruding into farmland, according to Mr. McCarthy. To rezone now would negate that effort by encouraging development on properties adjacent to Rappahannock Lakes in the “ripple effect of zoning," he said. Supervisor Ellis Bingham, in whose district the subdivision lies, agreed that the solution doesn’t lie with rezoning. Instead, he suggested an ordinance amendment to allow issuance of a building permit for lots created prior to 1973 — without a variance — provided that Health Department standards on wells and septic fields are satisfied. “A bundle of rights attaches to any parcel of real estate ... If we don’t allow a house to be built, that’s confiscation ... If a lot can’t meet the state’s regulations for sanitation, then it’s not usable for a dwelling, but that’s the state’s decision, and not a county directive.” But such an amendment will encourage landowners to build on every lot and discourage merger to meet setback regulations, countered Supervisor Lane. “It would take away the incentive for voluntary compliance.” “As a planner. I’m almost always uncomfortable with amending the zoning ordinance to fit a specific ' situation. It smacks of a quick fix,” said Mr. McCar- ’ thy. However, he reminded the supervisors that if;they decide against an ordinance amendment, the BZA still has the prerogative to deny Mr. Hur's vari-* , ance application, "At which point, I think, a property^* right has been taken away.” The Board of Zoning Appeals is not a “discretionary body,” noted county attorney Peter Luke. “They don’t have any leeway . . . They can only compare the facts of the law with the application, and if they can’t make the finding that the situation is unique, they ’ may well vote not to grant the variance.” »m\ See VARIANCE, p. 16 1 Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE HAMPTON INN is closed, owner Mildred Cebula confirmed on Monday. The restaurant was last open for business on Feb. 28. Public response: Salary ranking of 132nd in 134 school divisions must be improved Rappahannock’s public school system "could be a perfect jewel, a model for the rest of the state,” said Helen LaCava, one of a handful of people who came to Tuesday’s School Board meeting to respond to the $3,828,504 budget for 1988-89 proposed last week by Superintendent David Gangel. With bright well-behaved students, dedicated teachers, open and honest management, good rapport between schools, parents, and the -community at large, improved facili' ties, and Rappahannock’s beautiful countryside, the only thing missing is competitive salaries, Mrs. LaCava •continued. "If we only have one thing to fix, we ought to be able to -fix it.” Speaking as president of the I Rappahannock County Education [Association and a Castleton landdowner and taxpayer, she called on :the School Board to up teacher pay -raises above the 7 percent directive from Richmond. The 10 percent salary increases Rappahannock gave its teachers for the past two years were mandated by the state and so every Virginia locality gave at least that much, Mrs. LaCava noted. With most of those localities already paying better than Rappahannock, that standard 10 percent jump pushed the county even lower in the -relative rankings. Last year, new .teachers here were 128th in the state in starting pay. “Down again; we’ve been going down every year since I got here,” the RCHS math chairman noted. “We ranked 132nd out of 134 school divisions in the actual average salary paid teachers . . . 111th in the highest teacher salary with a bachelor’s degree.” At the same time, the state puts Rappahannock 10th from the top of the list when it comes to ability to pay for education, but down at 126th in effort to pay, Mrs. LaCava pointed out. • “I’ve heard people complain that the composite index is unfair. But if we were talking about a student whose potential and performance were so far apart, I’d be on the phone to the parents, I’d be down the hall to guidance, and I’d be filling out every referral slip I could find!” (The composite index figure, arrived at through a complicated formula based primarily on income of local residents, sales tax revenue, and land values as determined by actual sales figures, is used by the state to judge a locality’s ability to raise local tax dollars to pay for education. Correspondingly, it also determines the amount of basic aid a locality receives from Richmond.) Given these facts - Rappahannock’s ranking near the top in ability and near the bottom in effort and teachers’ salaries - if the county continues to hold raises to what is or dered by the state, “then teachers can conclude that competitive salaries are not a priority here,” Mrs. LaCava said. Laurie Marshall reported on what happened recently in Ftazard, Ky., at the opening of a Japaneseowned factory, which the town had lobbied hard to attract. Two thousand local people applied for jobs in the big plant, going through three days of testing and meetings with their prospective employeers. “Only 17 people were hired out of 2,000 because they lacked the skills. And that is the wave of the future!” Those picking the workers for the new factory weren’t looking for just high school literacy, which is too often lacking in America’s high school graduates; “they demanded collegelevel thinking,” Ms. Marshall reported. If Rappahannock is to better its record of sending just 16 percent of its graduates on to four-year colleges, “We must have salaries that will keep our good teachers here and attract dedicated new teachers,” said Ms. Marshall. She noted that an East Los Angeles high school plagued by drug and discipline problems, gang wars, and disintergrating families at home and with a large percentage of students for whom English was a second language, had in 10 yekrs raised to 80 percent its graduates going on to college. That happened through the efforts of dedicated — and well-paid — teachers and administrators, she said, adding that the same success can be achieved here where the schools face far fewer problems. “We can have the most exciting, individualized and challenging rural school system in the state. But we won’t with the salaries we’re paying,” Ms. Marshall said. The School Board was urged to emphasize to the Supervisors that although the proposed budget calls for a local dollar increase of 10 percent, it carries a state funding increase of 17.2 percent. Only three Virginia counties — Accomack with 17.8 percent, Lunenburg with 18.6 percent, and Highland with 66.7 percent — are getting larger percentage increases from Richmond in 1988-89. By comparison, neighboring school divisions are faring far worse, with Fauquier and Loudoun counties to receive just 2 percent more, Orange to get a 4.5 percent increase in state aid, Warren 6.2 percent, Culpeper 7.8 percent, and Madison 9.7 percent. In light of Rappahannock’s high ranking in ability to pay for education and this greater level of support from the state (which comes primarily from projected enrollment increases, accordSee BUDGET, p. 16 Bush sweeps county Dukakis edges Jackson, Gore runs strong third By LOU HATTER Kappahannot-k News Staff Writer In many ways, Rappahannock's “Super Tuesday” mirrored the day across the nation, as 17 states held primaries and caucuses in the country’s first regional primary. It was truly a suj>er day for Vice President George Bush, as he trounced Sen. Robert Dole in 14 of 17 contests. Only in Washington state did Mr. Bush falter, losing to former television evangelist Pat Robertson in the state’s caucus. Sen. Dole failed to finish first anywhere. In Rappahannock County, Mr. Bush carried the county easily, with 50 percent (150 votes) of the 301 Republican ballots cast. Sen. Dole finished a distant second with 21 percent (64 votes), trailed by Rev. Robertson with IS percent (54 votes). Rep. Jack Kemp ran a poor fourth with 13 votes, or 4 percent. The Republican primary in Virginia was a non-binding preference poll, and none of the candidates spent any appreciable amount of time in the Commonwealth. Despite having withdrawn from the race, Delaware Gov. Pete du Pont and Gen. Alexander Haig .Jr. also received six and one votes, respectively. The county results were a different story on the Democratic side. W'here Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis narrowly defeated Rev. Jesse Jackson, 132 votes to 129. Sen. Al Gore Jr. of Tennessee, who had pinned his hopes on Super Tuesday, ran third with Si votes. In percentage terms, Gov. Dukakis received 34 percent of the county total, while Rev. Jackson finished close behind with 33 percent, followed by Sen. Gore with 21 percent. Gov. Dukakis and Rev. Jackson ran neck-and-neck through most ol the county, with Gov. Dukakis receiving 38 votes in Hampton District, compared to Rev. Jackson’s 3(1. In Amissville the totals were Dukakis 24, Jackson 18, and in Scrabble it was 28-2(1, Gov. Dukakis winning that precinct as well. Only in Flint Hill and Sperryville did Rev. Jackson prevail, beating Gov. Dukakis by 25 to 17 in Flint Hill and 24 to 17 in Piedmont. In Chester Gap, Gov. Dukakis was the winner — while Rev. Jackson did not receive a single vote of the 23 Democratic ballots cast in that precinct. Statewide, Rev. Jackson wqji Virginia with 43 percent of the vote followed by Sen. Gore with 23 percent and Gov.

News of Record Hospice seeks help BY TINA H. WEAV ER Rappahannock News Contributing Writers If you have an unfilled hour or two each week or feel the need to be of help. Hospice of the Rapidan needs you. Volunteers are needed to assist the terminally ill and their family with transportation, respite care, funeral preparations, companionship, or bereavement support. Volunteers generally travel no more than 10 to 15 minutes from their home to their client’s home. Nursing care is not provided by the volunteer but by a qualified person from a coordinating agency. In Orange and Madison counties, due to a lack of adequate volunteers, applicants are frequently put on a waiting list until a volunteer is available. Many patients and families request no more than occasional visits. A trained hospice volunteer often becomes a confidante and is very important to that family. Many families say that to know support is available and someone cares is invaluable throughout this experience. To become a hospice volunteer, you must complete the 24-hour training course scheduled to begin March 21. Training will be given Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7-9:30 at 126 South Main St., Culpeper. Classes include instruction on the volunteer’s role and responsibilities, hospice philosophy, bereavement, the dying process, and home care. Toward the end of the training, volunteers will take a trainee to visit their hospice clients; this allows for firsthand experience. To conclude the training, a tour of a funeral home is scheduled. Many questions about cremation and burial are answered during this session. Volunteers receive much more than they give, for hospice volunteers learn the true meaning of living fully until that biological moment of death. It is very rewarding to take a client for a drive to view the turning of the leaves knowing that this is the last year he will see it, to bring a Bible tape to someone who no longer visits, to hang laundry outside to dry because all the dying person wants is to smell that fresh scent, dr to know that your support helped someone who wanted to die at home remain there instead of dying in a hospital or health care facility. These are all true experiences with which area hospice volunteers are familiar. Hospice of the Rapidan serves clients in Rappahannock, Orange, Madison, and Culpeper counties. Financial support for the nonprofit agency derives from local donations, memorials, memberships, fund raising events, foundation grants and the United Way of Culpeper. Your financial support or donated time assures the continuance of these free services. For more information or to obtain a volunteer application, please call 703-825-4840.

Grand jury indicts two Three felony indictments were returned against two defendants in unrelated cases by a Rappahannock County Circuit Court grand jury last Thursday. Matthew H. Jeffries, 24, 9415 Stonewall Dr., Manassas, was indicted oh two charges of aggravated sexual battery. The charges stem from an incident last August, when he allegedly molested two juveniles at a home in the county where he was a guest. Jeffries remains in the Rappahannock County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. No trial date has been set. Larry F. Mann, of Sperry ville was indicted on a charge of arson, in connection with an incident last Nov. 25, in which fires were allegedly intentionally set in fields near Slate Mills. Another Sperryville resident, Leroy Thomas Sisk, has already been indicted by another grand jury on charges of felony arson, assault and battery and unlawful use of force to impede a police officer as a result of the same incident. Because Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke was called out of town unexpectedly, and was not present at Thursday’s grand jury, bond hearings and court dates for the three cases will not be set until March 14. Superintendent named for park J. William Wade, superintendent of the Park Service’s Stephen T. Mather Employee Development Center at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., has been selected to be superintendent of Shenandoah National Park. The appointment was announced by James W. Coleman Jr., regional director of the Mid-Atlantic Region. Mr. Wade replaces Ronald Wrye who served as superintendent for one year before becoming deputy regional director of the National Capital Region in Washington, D.C. In the interim, Assistant Superintendent Gerald Tays has been acting as superintendent. At the Mather Center where he has served since 1985, Mr. Wade directed one of the two centers the Park Service maintains to train employees. Last year this eastern center provided 25 training courses and 49 other conferences in which 1600 people took part. Training center instructors also assisted at 20 other off-site courses. Mr. Wade developed an improved system of identifying and tracking what training courses employees need in order to advance in the Park Service, a system that went into effect throughout the service this year; ' Before going to Harpers Ferry, he served as assistant superintendent at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Pennsylvania and New Jersey from 1981 to 1985. He assisted the superintendent in directing a staff of 130 at this developing park and managing a budget of $3.8 million. During this period a General Management Plan, Land Protection Plan and Resource Management Plan were adopted for the park and NPS succeeded in curtailing the heavy truck traffic that had disrupted the main visitor road into the recreation area. From 1980 to 1981, Mr. Wade served on special assignment to the Organization of American States to assist Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean in establishing a system of national parks and protected areas. Earlier in his career, he served as a chief ranger at Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina (1977-80); on loan from NPA to NPS to New Zealand as a senior lecturer on national parks at Lincoln College (1976-77); instructor at the Albright Training Center in Arizona (1973-76), and area manager at National Capital Parks in Washington, D.C. (1971-72). He was a park ranger at Yosemite National Park, California, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, and Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. Mr. Wade has been closely associated with emergency search and rescue operations and in 1983 received the Hal Foss Service Award from the National Association for Search and Rescue for his contributions on a national basis. A native of Mesa Verde, Colo., he is the son of Jack Wade who for many years was the chief ranger at Mesa Verde National Park. He is a graduate of Fort Lewis College in Durango, Qolo.f with & BA in business administration and biological sciences. His wife Sherrie is from northern New Jersey. Mr. Wade has one son and a daughter from a previous marriage. Michael, 22, is a student at Northern Virginia Community College and worked last summer as a seasonal employee at Wolf Trap Farm Park. His daughter, Mylea, 20, is planning to continue her college education in Virginia as well. Mr. Wade will take up his duties at Shenandoah the latter part of March.

Index crimes up during ’87 State police reported that Uniform Crime Reports reflect an increase of 4.7 percent in the seven index crimes for 1987 compared to those reported for 1986. There were 233,768 serious crimes reported statewide in 1987 compared to 223,366 in 1986. Increases were reported in all categories except aggravated assault, which was down 4.7 percent. The highest increase was reported in motor vehicle theft, up 18.3 percent, from 12,702 vehicles reported stolen in i986 to 15,022 repprted in 1987. Murder-non-negligent manslaughter increased by 6.3 percent. There were 437 reported cases of murder in 1987 compared to 411 for the same period in 1986. Reports of forcible rape increased by .3 percent, robbery increased by 2.1 percent, burglary increased by 1.3 percent and larceny increased by 5.3 percent. The monetary value of stolen property increased by 20 percent, to $167,296,561 in 1987 over the 1986 figure of $139,407,133. However, the value of property recovered also increased, by 31 percent, from $51,213,901 in 1986 to $67,090,261 in 1987. V There are many factors which affect the type and volume of crime that occurs in a given area, state police spokesman Charles Vailghn said. The most important and vital influences on crime are economic status and composition of the population, density and size of the community, climate, effective strength of‘the police force and the relationships and attitudes of law enforcement and the community. Index crimes are those crimes considered to represent the most serious by nature or by the volume^n which they occur. In the Statewide Uniform Crime Reporting Program, contributing local law enforcement agencies are responsible for compiling their own crime reports and submitting them to the state police UCR section. State police compile the statistics, provide feedback to participating agencies and forward the data on a monthly and annual basis to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in national crime reports. Jazz concert in Luray “Bourbon Street Jazz,” a luncheon concert of New Orleans jazz sponsored by the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival, will be presented Sunday, March 20 at 1 p.m. at the Mimslyn Inn in Luray, Va.

Planning Commission declines to reconsider four-laning of Rt. 211 west to Sperry ville Opponents of the plans for duallaning Rt. 211 from Washington to Sperryville failed to find recruits at the Rappahannock Planning Commission’s meeting last week. " As the commission received the 'draft revisions to the county’s comprehensive plan, which designates •the Flatwoods stretch for future - commercial development and calls ' for widening the highway’s six miles 'of remaining two lanes, John Cadwa"leder asked for reconsideration of "the project. For safety’s sake, Mr. ■Cadwaleder acknowledged that the highway might need to be four-laned around the Farmers Co-op. “But I question if it’s needed all the way to Sperryville.” He recalled that in 1974, a Sperryville Citizens Committee opposed widening Rt. 211 through the village, with chairman Col. E. P. Luke maintaining that tourists come to the county for its villages and rural .'character, not for throughfares. "That same reasoning applies to the • proposal for dual-laning the six miles, Mr. Cadwaleder contended. He challenged the improvements -as a congestion-relieving measure. At 60 miles per hour over dual lanes, .’ihe said, it would take six minutes to .'travel the distance between Washington and Sperryville and at 30 miles per hour on the current road, 'it takes 12 minutes; at 45 miles per • hour, just nine minutes. “So you lose ‘three or four minutes. Whether that’s worth $14 million is questionable.” “It’s not too late (to abandon the project),” Mr. Cadwaleder continued. He reported that Constance Kincheloe, the county’s representative on the Highway Commission, “thinks the Highway Department would well use the money elsewhere” and supports the Rt. 211 improvements “because the supervisors are pushing the project.” Asking for public meetings to recon sider the dual-laning proposal, Mr. Cadwaleder said, “I hope we can discuss it some more.” “It’s a project that has been approved over and over and over again,” countered Phil Irwin. “It has been subjected to repeated reviews in this community.” He described the stretch between Washington and Sperryville as the most densely traveled road in the county. “The road is dangerous, and the road is slow. Motorists are tempted to be careless.” “Opponents of the project ask ‘why destroy new countryside?’ Safety, for one reason,” Mr. Irwin said. But he maintained that rather than destroying the rural character of the county/the dual-laning would allow motorists to “relax and enjoy the exposed views of the mountains . . . There’s no good excuse not to let this plan continue.” Commissioner Bob Anderson noted that motorists entering Rt. 211 with a left turn from Rt. 622 “better get off the road pretty quick” because approaching vehicles “can’t see you.” Chairman A.Y. Stokes added that school buses entering and leaving the two public schools in that same section of Rt. 211 also face traffic hazards. “If you’ve never been out there when it’s congested, then you haven’t come at the right time,” Commissioner John Clark told Mr. Cadwaleder. “Try driving that road in the morning between 5 and 6 a.m. It’s almost bumper to bumper with commuters going to work.” By dual-laning the road to Sperryville, “you’re just moving the bottleneck six miles,” Mr. Cadwaleder said, charging that most of the project’s proponents are Sperryville merchants who want the road improved “for selfish reasons . . . They want their businesses more accessible.” As for safety factors, he maintained that the two sharp left turns at the end of a dual-laned highway in Sperryville will pose a greater hazard than the traffic load on the unimproved stretch between the village and Washington. Plans for by-passing Sperryville are “already on record,” replied Mr. Stokes, referring to the Highway Department’s briginal proposal for building a spur through the C. E. Johnson property to the west of the village. “But we’ve been tol'd that the supervisors have been assured by the highway department that they’re not going to put a by-pass around Sperryville,” said Mr. Cadwaleder. “The people killed that idea,” confirmed Commissioner Werner Krebser. He cautioned that “building big roads” increases development pressure and while supporting the Rt. 211 project, he also warned that the county will have to ensure it can “stick with the zoning and subdivision ordinances (to) make sure the highway isn’t a vehicle for subdivisions.” Jhghway projects, once started, can continue endlessly, said Mr. Cadwaleder, raising the spectre of next four-laning Rt. 231 to Madison. That highway has been designated a Virginia Scenic Byway and while this doesn’t per se block such projects, the state Department of Transportation has yet to dual-lane a scenic road, noted John McCarthy, Rappahannock’s zoning administrator and administrative assistant to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Cadwaleder called for the preservation of country roads as a means of preserving rural character. “Allowing the tentacles (of duallaned highways) to enter . . . encourages joy riding . . . Why should speed be such an issue?” he asked. “Safety is important, but it’s possible to drive safely on any road.” Rt. 211 is part of what the state determines as its arterial system, Mr. McCarthy explained, noting that the Virginia General Assembly has ordered the improvements — long delayed due to short money — to Rt. 211 and the rest of that system. “So whatever the county wants, the state is going to keep hammering away at it.” Mike Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission, pointed out that both the existing and draft revised versions of the county’s comprehensive plan specifically call for widening Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. And the plan’s designation of the Flatwoods area for future commercial growth is predicated on those improvements, he added. “If, in the comprehensive plan, the county allows for growth,' we have a chance of keeping it where ' we want it to go. But if we don’t allow it anywhere, we can’t keep it out anywhere.” Mr. McCarthy said he shared Dr. Krebser’s concern over highways attracting unwanted residential development. But the improvements to Rt. 211 don’t entail bringing any new lanes INTO the county, and “no one is going to drive to Rappahannock because we have six more miles of four lanes,” he added. “What is it going to do when it gets to Sperryville?” asked Mr. Cadwaleder. The road divides at the village’s outskirts; part of the traffic will split off in the direction of Culpeper and Madison and part will continue through Sperryville and over the mountains to Luray and the Shenandoah Valley, noted Mr. Irwin. And while plans for a by-pass were drawn some 15 years ago, the project does not now appear on any highway department binding list, concluded John McCarthy.

Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 10.1988 Editorials Good government On Monday, the Board of Supervisors approved a motion to change the times of the board's monthly meetings. Beginning in May, the board will meet at 2 p.m., rather than 10 a.m., and any public hearings will be held beginning at 7 p.m. The date will remain the first Monday of the month. The change is designed to allow more county residents to participate in the meetings, to attend the public hearings, and to express their opinions. It’s a great idea, and we commend the board for its attention to the requests from residents to provide greater input into decisions. In a time when officials and agencies seem to be more interested in barring rather than informing the public, Rappahannock’s decision blows like a fresh breeze through the musty fog of cloakroom politics which so often lends a certain foul stench to the decision-making process. Although the change won’t mean that everyone will be satisfied by the decisions of the board — any more than they are now — at least it should offer a chance for the supervisors to hear the opinions of those of their constituents who can’t take off from work to attend daytime meetings. We hope, as well, that more residents will take the time to attend the meetings. The supervisors have acted to accommodate their constituents — we hope they care enough to become involved. A national disgrace Tuesday was primary day in Virginia, and in nearly 20 other states as well. Once again, less than one-quarter of the voters eligible to participate bothered to cast a ballot. They can’t blame the weather, which was sunny and warm. They can’t say they didn’t know about it; from the Rappahannock News to the Washington Post, the newspapers and television have been filled with previews for the past several weeks. Some experts say the electorate is bored — that the candidates just don’t excite people this year. Some blame the traditional independence of Virginia’s voters, saying that they were unwilling to express a party preference. That argument might hold water, except that previous elections in which statements of preference were not required have failed to get any better turnout. The fact is, America’s voters are lazy and apathetic. They just don’t seem to care about the political process. So what if the candidates aren’t all charismatic, firebreathing speakers? Not every politician is cast in that mold. They may still make good leaders. And, like it or not, one of the current candidates is going to end up as president of the United States on Nov. 8. It’s about time for the American people to get off their collective lazy, couch-potato duffs, turn the TV dial away from “Wheel of Fortune” and begin to participate in the political process. The current situation, where less than half of the electorate is generally responsible enough to exercise its right to vote — the cornerstone of our heritage — is a national disgrace. So, if you still can’t be bothered to vote, don’t bother to complain about the quality of the representatives who are elected. If you didn’t vote, they’re not your representatives, anyway. Meeting against landfill To the editor: The final meeting on the Amissville Landfill will be held Friday, March 11, at 1 p.m. at the courthouse in Washington. The meeting is not limited to Rappahannock residents. Since it borders Fauquier and Culpeper counties, those citizens are urged to participate, as well as others concerned about the Rappahannock River. Prior to permitting the landfill, the state’s Department of Waste Management official Berry Wright will address questions from concerned citizens. Persons unable to attend the meeting may call Mr. Wright at 1-800-552-2075. Of major concern still is the disposal of leachate, toxic chemicals produced by the landfill. Waste management officials have stated the leachate poses a greater health hazard than the landfill itself. Since several Amissville residents already have contaminated water, possibly from nearby abanuoiie.l dumps, most residents be lieve they have had their share of exposure to hazardous waste. Convinced the site is unsuitable for a landfill, with its abundance of water and close proximity to the Rappahannock River and heavilypopulated areas, concerned citizens have spent $12,500 to date in their fight against the site, and several hundred have signed petitions. Since this meeting represents the last opportunity citizens will have to impact this important decision, Jackson District Citizens chairman Lorraine Early urges all to participate. The group’s consultant, Timothy Saylor, director of chemistry and earth sciences with Buchart Horn Inc., is reviewing the final plans. He finds that scientific testing has not been completed for determining what the water system is doing, whether it is artesian, regional or perched, or a combination water system that exists on the site. CATHY L. SMITH Amiss ville. Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the Editor As it stands, we all lose To the editor: Of the numerous hazards and deficiencies cited as arguments in favor of the plan to continue the four lanes of Rt. 211/522 from Washington to Sperryville, the one most infrequently mentioned is. in my opinion, the one most urgently in need of rectification. It is also the problem about which absolutely nothing isgoing to be done, according to the present plan. It seems to be a most astonishing paradox that many of those most vociferously crying Safety in favor of the four-lane extension are. at the same time, most adamantly opposed to a by-pass that would eliminate the two successive 90-degree turns in the town which must be negotiated by drivers going to or coming from Rt. 522 south of Sperryville. In a reversal of the paradox, those who see the advantages of such a by-pass are often opposed to the four-lane highway. Leaving the four-lane out of it al together, a convincing argument could certainly be made in favor of the by-pass alone, by virtue of existing traffic density. Add the four-lane proposal to the equation, and a bypass would seem to be mandatory. But the by-pass will not be built, as the plan stands now. It was defeated, issues of safety and convenience notwithstanding, by those who felt that tourist business in the town might suffer. It- did not occur to anyone, apparently, that a fourlane highway might be equally detrimental in that regard. A growing number of us would. like to keep things as they are: no autobahn; no by-pass. No loss to the countryside: no threat to the tourist trade. We all win. It is quite possible, however, that we will all lose. If the four lanes of Fa. 211 522 are extended as far as Sperryville. it will become embarrassingly evident, within a very short time, that a by-pass is unperatue. It will be constructed forthwith: and Sperryville’s erstwhile tourist trade, seeking unspoilt landscape and quiet country lanes, will drift on flown to Criglersville. JOHN CADWALADER JR. Woodville Amissville VFD thanks supporters I would like to take this time on behalf of the members of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department t; thank those members of the Amissv ille and surrounding community who responded generously to our fund drive through your donations.

We will be here to serve the community just as we have done in the past and will continue to do in the future. Again, thank you. .SHARON L. SCOTT Secretary Amissville Volunteer h ire Department Pat Robertson for President To the editor: Tuesday, March 8, was Primary Day, and even though it was nonbinding, voters had the opportunity to support their favorite candidate. To me, the most important question of this campaign is, “What is the government doing with all the money it expropriates?” Some typical expenditures are: • $245 million to upgrade the Red Chinese Air Force, in addition to the $22 billion in aid to the Red Chinese government. • Economic and military aid for Mozambique and Angola to help these Communist countries light the anti-Communist rebellion.- new going on there and murder Chi - tians by the thousands. • The loan of countless millions to socialist and Communist countries to build industries that export goods into America, destroy American industry, ami put Americans out of work. The only candidate that would NOT continue these policies is Pat Robertson. He is not associated with the liberal wing of the Republican Party, or any other pressure group that is getting rich by “selling out” America. I urged Virginians to vote for Pal Robertson in the primary March 8, Then go on and support him in th( Republican caucuses that will actu ally pick convention delegates. Thb is the only way he can get on the No vember ballot. MASON GARDNER Gainesville Seeking Allen Wiley i lo the editor: Can any of your readers help me with the following request?

Richmond Variance denial wise To the editor: Your news article on the “John Hur variance" for the Rappahannock Lakes lot (Rappahannock \'ews. March 3) convinced me that the denial recommendation by the Planning Commission was wise and correct. You described a 70-lot subdivision. with houses on less than half of the lots, already in serious trouble. (3-4 houses per acre, road surfaces too narrow for meeting cars to pass, a failing water system making private wells and septic systems necessary on some lots of 14 acre.) There were no regulations concerning subdivisions in Rappahannock County at the time the land was divided. This did not guarantee that a house could be built on each lot any more than the state guarantees that the wells and drain fields currently being permitted will not fail. If a septic permit was denied no questions would be asked, the lot would not be considered confiscated. Reasons other than water and septic do exist to deny a building permit tr protect the health, safety, and gen eral welfare of the people. Set bad regulations are one example. When Rappahannock Lakes ifully developed it will need a public water and or sewer system, state maintained roads, etc. Will phi.' mean that because Rappahannicl County allowed the developmental^ people will have to pay to bi$l( them? Theory says that a variances i.' not precedent setting but the j^Sn ciple reasons for the variance arejjhe same. Rappahannock County hajJal least a thousand such lots. Commor sense tells us that the county shofclr not grant a variance to a reasonable regulation to allow an increased n sity in an area that is a ticking heatjtl bomb. > NEWBILL MILLER Washington > Start thinking, stop littering!

Op-Ed Legislative reports Dual speed limit opposed 1- By SEN. KEVIN MILLER R-26th > On Thursday, March 3, the Senate Transportation Committee voted to reject the bill supported by the governor that would increase the speed limit to 65 mph for automobiles on rural interstate highways. N The governor’s bill was defeated by a coalition made up of those who want no increase in the speed limit and those opposing a different speed iimit for cars vs. trucks on rural interstates. I voted against the bill because in my opinion we should raise the speed for both cars and trucks. All studies I have seen indicate that uniform speeds are much safer than different limits for cars and trucks. The administration’s own task force report included a statement . . . “The incidence of accidents is proportional to the variation in the speed among vehicles in the traffic flow. If vehicles travel at widely varying speeds, more interactions are going to occur than if they travel at about the same speed. Increases in these interactions increase the likelihood of a crash.” If those driving automobiles on the interstates now have the feeling that there is an adversary relationship with trucks, it could escalate into all-out war if trucks are limited to 55 while cars can drive 65. I can visualize two or more trucks driving at 55 MPH alongside each other and blocking the lanes, accumulating impatient drivers behing them using all kinds of dangerous tactics in efforts to pass. I did not make an effort to amend the bill in committee to make the limit 65 mph for both trucks and cars for fear the governor would use his influence to have the bill amended again on the Senate floor (or in House-Senate Conference Committee) back to the original dangerous 65-55 posture. I do not accept the argument that an increase in the speed limit on rural interstates would automatically result in an increase in traffic deaths. In fact, with proper enforcement of speed laws, it may be that there would be no significant increase in the actual speed. Mr. Miller represents Rappahannock County in the Virginia State Senate.

VA '•<' Last week the House of Representatives considered legislation ito provide about $15 million in non>military aid to the Contras in Nica‘tagua. Although I voted in favor of ‘the president’s package of Contra .aid on Feb. 3, which included some .funds for the purchase of arms and ammunition, I opposed the bill - which was a part of Speaker Jim Wright’s plan - last week. I opposed the plan sponsored by Speaker of the House Wright because it did not provide effective assistance to the Contra rebels who are resisting the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. The Sandinistas have been supplied with $4.5 billion in military and other assistance from the Soviet bloc between 1982-87, in eluding over $1 billion in aid from the Soviet bloc last year. With U.S. aid, the Contras have been able to pressure the Sandinistas to negotiate. Now is not the time to let up on the pressure. Therefore, I hope that the House will now support an effective Contra aid plan. Last week the House also considered legislation known as the “Grove City College” bill. This legislation was created in response to the 1984 Supreme Court decision. Grove City College vs. Bell, which applied federal anti-discrimination statutes to specific education programs receiving federal aid rather than the entire school. Discrimination should be opposed, but rather than dealing specifically with the problems created by the court case, the Grove City College bill could expand the scope of federal jurisdiction over state and local governments and the private sector - from churches, to farmers, grocery stores and businesses of various sizes. In addition, the Grove City bill would impose extensive federal regulations and paperwork requirements on many sectors of American society. I opposed this bill and supported a substitute bill which also reversed the Grove City decision, but which made it clear that institutions closely identified with religious tenets would be exempted Rep.

Bloodmobile in Warrenton The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 17, between the hours of 12:30 and 5:30 p.m. with a goal of collecting 75 units. While blood collections have been satisfactory in the Central Virginia area recently, Types O and B, both positive and negative, still are in short supply, according to Cindy Hamade, field representative of the Red Cross blood services. Because blood drives of the Fauquier Chapter have been so successful in recent months, Ms. Hamade 1 ' that the chapter has a good t nance of making its goal of 1,225 units in the fiscal year that ends June 30. According to chapter offi cials, that would be the first time in more than five years that the goal was attained. However to achieve the annual goal, Ms. Hamade pointed out, this community’s blood donors will have to continue to turn out in record numbers. There are seven Bloodmobiles scheduled for this area between now and June 30, with a total goal of 455 units. The Fauquier chapter would have to collect 83 percent of that number to meet the annual goal.

Day realtor ° CHATTELS AND FIXTURES All property is divided into two classes; PERSONAL and REAL. Real estate consists of the land and whatever is attached to it. Personal property (chattels) is moveable. The tree growing on your land is part of the real estate. When cut and made into lumber, it becomes personal property. Alternately, chattels can become real estate. A sink in the store is personal property. Take it home and hook it up and it becomes a fixture, a term for chattels that have become real property. Many disputes in real estate center around what does or does not remain with the property. In general, chattels may be taken away, fixtures must remain. To avoid argument, remove certain items before showing the property. If you plan to keep the special dining room chandelier, for example, the simplest solution is to replace it before the house is ever shown. If you are not going to do this, state clearly in writing that you reserve the right to remove certain items that buyers might assume would stay. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor. The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone: 6753033. We’re here to help.

Having a true touch of Irish ilood might make it easier to understand why anyone would drink green beer. If you are not partial to green beer, another appropriate beverage to hoist in a toast to St. Patrick is steaming Irish coffee. The missionary who introduced Christianity to Ireland. St. Patrick, is given the credit for having chased all of the snakes from the beautiful Emerald Isle. Irish Coffee Peel of 4 oranges, removed in Iinch strips with vegetable peeler Peel of 4 lemons, removed in 1ineh strips with vegetable peeler Whole cloves 4 cinnamon sticks 6 T. sugar 4 cups Irish whiskey 12 cups strong hot coffee 1 cup whipping cream, whipped Stud each orange and lemon strip with 2 to 3 cloves.

Shake pan back and forth very carefully and slowly until flames die out. Add hot coffee all at once and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Ladle coffee into Irish coffee glasses or mugs. Top each with dollop of whipped cream. A hearty Irish Stew makes a good dish for a party because it can be prepared ahead in one pot. For a break from tradition, why not serve the stew in bread bowls, hollowed out French rolls that have been left to dry at room temperature and then spread with garlic butter. It’s kinda inch lengths 1 inch wide 2 lb. small fresh mushrooms Bread bowls, optional Pat meat dry, then dredge in flour, which has been mixed with salt and pepper.

Before serving, cook carrots in boiling water to cover 10 to 15 minutes or until almost tender. Drain. Skim fat from stew.

Rappahannock Journal Early Spring garden notes • This is a good time to clean and 'are for garden tools. Sharpening edges of spades, hoes, and other rating tools now will make work go fas*r later in the spring. Keep metal <ool heads in a bucket of oily sand to ceep them rust-free. The sand will scrub away dirt and oil and acts as a jrotective covering. Smooth rough wooden handles and coat them with inseed oil. This will keep the wood Tom drying out and prevent it from shrinking or splitting. Organizing sools will help in locating them and will prevent injuries from loose tools ying around. • Watch for signs of growth in early spring bulbs. When foliage is 1 n. high, gradually start removing mulch. Cloudy days are best for the initial exposure of the leaves to strong sunlight which can burn tenter foliage. • If weeds occur in bulb beds, do lot remove them by cultivation, but lull them by hand so that the bulbs uid roots will not be disturbed. • Pinch off early buds from develjping pansies to encourage plants to jranch and form more buds. • Don’t remove mulch from perennials too early. A warm day may make you think spring is almost lere, but there may be more cold weather yet to come. • Proper rose pruning is the key ;o successful summer blooms. Prune •oses back 25 percent if you want many medium-sized blooms. Prune jack 50 percent if you want fewer, larger flowers. Modern roses should be pruned just before the buds break dormancy after the last frosts. • Check valuable trees and shrubs for tent caterpillar egg masses and bag worms. Remove them to reduce the number of destructive pests this spring. Tent caterpillar egg masses are gray and varnished looking and form a collar around twigs, while bagworms look somewhat like a pine cone hanging at the end of branches. If bird feeding has been a favorite activity this winter, order trees and shrubs which provide cover and small fruits for your feathered friends. Consider species such as crabapple, hawthorn, holly, dogwood, and pyracantha which can help lure hungry birds from cultivated fruits, if planted on the opposite side of the yard. • If you have a sandy soil which dries out extra fast in the summer, you may want to experiment with gardening in a depression. Prepare the soil in a hole or trough several inches below the surface of the paths to reduce evaporation and make watering easier. • Plan on hanging a few vegetables on your porch or deck for a convenient harvest. Bush cucumbers, small tomato varieties, and even lettuce and spinach can be grown in hanging baskets. Many herbs including chives, parsley, and thyme are also well-suited to baskets. • Gardening in a raised bed im proves drainage and gives an earlier start in areas with cold, wet soil. • If your asparagus bed’s pH is too low, you can apply lime or wood ashes. To find out how much, test your soil through the Extension Service. The ideal pH for asparagus is 6.0 to 6.8. • If you want to raise fruit in your garden, try grapes, raspberries, or strawberries. It is much less difficult to succeed with them than with tree fruits, and you’ll get much faster results. • Ever wonder why apricots don’t set much fruit in Virginia? It is because of the warm days in February or March that encourage the apricot' to break dormancy and bloom — only to be followed by more freezing weather that kills the developing fruit. • Native chestnuts cannot be grown because of their susceptibility to blight. If you would like to have chestnuts, plant the grafted Chinese varieties such as Crane, Nanking, or Orrin. These are fine trees for the landscape and will produce nuts within 3 to 4 years after they are planted. • Don’t overexert those underworked winter muscles as you begin spring gardening. Bend at the knees and lift with your legs, not your back. • A good salt substitute for anyone who wants to restrict sodium intake is a blending of equal parts of dried basil, dill, lemon balm, marjoram, mint, parsley, rosemary, and thyme, with a few dashes of Hungarian paprika. USDA seeks bicentennial farm families BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Eilaition Agent. Home Economic* UDSA has started a 16-month program to recognize Americans whose farms.have been held in the same family at least since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. “Agriculture has been a vital part of American life since the founding of this country,” noted USDA Assistant Secretary Wilmer Mizell. “It seems proper to recognize this important fact during the term of the 100th Congress, which will continue through 1988.” Mr. Mizell said he didn’t know how many farms nationwide would be eligible for the Bicentennial Farm Recognition Project but expected that most would be concentrated in the eastern U.S. The program is being administered by the Food and Agriculture Councils in each state. According to George Norris, chairman of Virginia’s council, farmers in Virginia who wish to be considered for recognition under this program must apply before Oct. 1 and must meet the following criteria: . • The -fans*-afiiftt;*have- been owned by the same family since 1787 or before. • The farm must have been operated actively in 1987. • Application for recognition must be agreed to by the owner. In Rappahannock County eligibility for recognition will be determined by the Rappahannock Food and Agriculture Council. Application forms may be obtained from Linda Henry, ASCS office, and the Rappahannock Food and Agriculture Council, Gay Street, Washington. A Certificate of Recognition signed by the Secretary of Agriculture will be presented to each family that qualifies under the program.. .-1, A Still time to file for oil refunds Virginia farmers have an additional five months to apply for an oil overcharge refuknd since the U.S. Department of Energy extended the filing deadline until June 30.

Robert B. Delano, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, said the fact that some farmers have made their payments on debts incurred, while others can write off a portion of theirs, simply isn’t fair. “There are farmers in the U.S. and Virginia who have sacrificed to make the payments on their debts over the years, and all * of a sudden we have a government agency saying,’ I’m going to forgive a portion of your debt because you borrowed from a government agency,’ ” said Mr. Delano, former president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “This means those who borrowed from commercial lending institutions will have to sit by and watch their neighbor’s debt written off.” In addition, the proposal surfaced just a week before the Super Tuesday primaries across the South, where much of the nation’s farming debt is located. “The plan would certainly lead one to believe there is some polit ical motivation behind the decision, although there is language in the Farm Credit Act that encourages the FmHA to restructure loans,” Mr. Delano, a Richmond County grain farmer, explained. “Maybe this is going a little beyond the intent of the act.” Mr. Delano said the rules being drafted would write off about half of the $14 billion debt owed to the FmHA, the nation’s second-largest farm-lending institution. “I think the intent is to look at an individual farmer who owes in excess of his assets or what his land would bring if a sale would occur. “The FmHA will write it down to the farm’s value, under the present-day conditions. If the farm will cash-flow', then they would WTite off the excess amount that the farmer just couldn’t handle.” Despite objections to the plan, Mr. Delano’s advice to farmers planning to sell out is, “Wait until we see exactly how the procedure will be developed and administered before making a decision.” Farm Bureau has supported the FmHA in past measures to restructure farmers’ debts, but has not advocated forgiving the debt. Foundation offers dogwoods Ten free white flowering dogwood trees will be given to each person who joins the National Arbor Day Foundation during March. The free trees are part of the non-profit foundation’s efforts to encourage tree planting throughout America. “The white flowering dogwoods will add year-round beauty to your home and neighborhood,” John Rosenow, the foundation’s executive director, said. “Dogwoods -harvift' showy spring flowers, scarlet autumn foliage and red berries which attract songbirds all winter.” The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between March 1 and May 31 wiih enclosed planting instructions. The 6-to-12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. To become a member of the foundation and to receive the free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to TEN DOGWOODS, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, Neb. 68410, by March 31. ASCS offers pre-payments To provide farmers with additional cash flow, T.V. Williams Jr., chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Committee, said advance payments are being offered during the sign-up for the 1988 Wheat and Feed Grain Acreage Reducation Programs. Advance payments represent 40 percent of the estimated deficiency payment rate for the crop. Deficiency payments are made to farm program participants when the average market price falls below the established target price for a crop. Mr. Williams said target prices for 1988 are $2.93 per bushel for com, $2.78 for sorghum, $2.51 for barley, $1.55 for oats, and $4.23 for wheat. Estimated deficiency payment rates per bushel are $1.10 for com, $1.08 for sorghum, 76 cents for barley, 30 cents for oats, and $1.53 for wheat. “Advance deficiency payments will be equal to 40 percent of the estimated deficiency payment rate,” Mr. Williams said. He said one-half of this amount will be issued in cash at sign-up and the balance in generic commodity certificates this May. In addition to deficiency payments, wheat producers may request at sign-up 75 percent of the projected emergency compensation payment, also known as the Findley payment. This payment rate is the difference between the basic loan rate of $2.76 and the higher of the 1988 loan and purchase rate of $2.21, or the national weighted average price received by wheat producers during the 1988 wheat marketing year which ends May 31, 1989. Acreage reduction requirements for the 1988 programs are 27.5 percent for wheat, 20 percent for com, sorghum and barley with a voluntary 10 percent paid land diversion, and 5 percent for oats. Applications for the 1988 acreage reduction program may be filed through April 15.

With the help of (from left) second-graders Dean Payne, Stacey Payne and Nikki Rustic, cloth napkins become a hairbow on the maiden in distress, a moustache on the dasterdly bad guy and a bow tie for the hero come to the rescue. Students participate m theatre By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock New* Special Writer As the elementary school students entered the auditorium on Feb. 12 a number of questions were being asked. “What is this napkin for? Are we going to eat something? Can I make an airplane out of this napkin?" Little did they know that one single napkin could transform each child in the room into a bad guy. a damsel in distress or a good guy. Only the Cornerstone Theater Group could make this happen for kindergarten through third grade students. This fine theater group was brought to Rappahannock by the "Arts on the Road” grant program of the Virginia Commission of the Arts. RAAC was one of the six grant winners statewide, continuing its tradition of fostering appreciation for the performing arts in Rappahannock County. Teachers discovered that children don’t mind repetition one bit. The Cornerstone Theater troupe presented the same three lines in 15 dramatic styles. The skit “1 Can't Pay the Rent" was performed in every way from Western to slapstick comedy to rock video. At the end of the 15th version a disappointed sigh from the children was heard when they realized that it was the final version. The skit contained a villain, who, of course, had a mustache, a female with a bow in her hair, and a good guy in a bow tie. The students helped the players warm up by practicing their lines with them. Folded napkin under nose - “You must pay the rent!” Folded napkin in hair - “I can’t pay the rent!" Folded napkin on neck - “I'll pay the rent!” Napkin on upper lip - “Curses! Foiled again!” At the end of the performance the cast asked for suggestions about the settings that they may use in future performances. Students thought of several ideas that may be incorporated later. Some suggestions included a war scene and a mime skit. This production made such an impression on RCES students that it will be a long time before they can sit down at a dinner table without picking up their napkin, folding it very meticulously and startling their parents with “Curses! Foiled again!’” Kindergarten sign-up Mar. 22, 23 All children who are five years of age by Sep. 30 are eligible to enter school in the fall of 1988.

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH: Jockey Pete Aylor waits as Clerk of the Scales Mitchell Green checks his weight. HEADED DOWN THE STRETCH, “Wrangler” (15) owned by T. E. Olinger of Remington, won the famous Rappahannock Hunt Hound Race. Rosenbaum, Smith, Russell and Dugan — all earn repeat wins By TINA SKINNER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The owner-rider races and the ladies’ rider year-end awards appear well on their way to being wrapped up only two races into the ninemeeting Virginia spring point-topoint season. Bruce Rosenbaum, riding Oriental Express, scored his second consecutive win in the owner-rider timber race March 5 at the Rappahannock Point-to-Point on Thornton Hill Farm at Sperryville. “That was wonderful,” Mr. Rosenbaum said afterwards. “These two-ajid-a-half ers [mile races] are so fast. My horse, he’s so cool. When we went up that hill the second time we rested, just like at Casanova, and when we came back flown the second time he had all I wanted — I had to hold him.” The hill Mr. Rosenbaum spoke of is technically a mountain and is most infamous for its downside. As they came down the mountain for the second time, Oriental Express passed leading Runny Meade, Douglas King in the irons, and kept on going. On the final turn for home, Kamal and Randy Waterman offered a challenge, but soon pulled up before they entered the stretch. Oriental Express finished two lengths over oncoming Make the Move with Nelson Gunnell and Runny Meade. Marcella Smith’s victory in the ladies’ timber was harder-earned this week than last. After leading the whole way, Ms. Smith and Mark of Eden were challenged in the final half-mile by Useful Information and 1986 leading lady rider Michele Rouse who ran neck and neck with them towards the finish. On the final turn, Mark of Eden went wide, giving Useful Information a head start in the final turn. Ms. Smith’s horse proved the fastest in the final sprint, however, and finished several lengths to the good of Mrs. Rouse and her mount. Rink’s Trace, with Sara Laimbeer up, trailed. Another successful lady rider Saturday was Dawn Dugan, who racked up her second foxhunter’s win this season on Bold Blitz. Bold Blitz, at the peak of fitness, took matters into his own hands as the foxhunters set off from the flags. “I couldn’t hold him at all," his ridt.r said. “This horse is so competitive.” She also had difficulty steering him. The Rappahannock timber course is not known as an easy ride and as the four-horse field stormed down the mountain on the first loop, Bold Blitz blazed off in his own chosen direction. “He turns good to the right,” Miss Dugan said, but turning left, the required direction at the bottom of the mountain, is a different story. William Russell and News Special took their second season win over hurdles in the owner-rider race. Coming home, a hot contest developed between Imperial Morn, with David Bourke riding, and Material Pleasure. I)r. Russell proved his horse the most capable in the last eighth of a mile, passing the leaders and leaving them a length behind under the wire. The duel for second was narrowly decided in favor of Mr. Bourke’s mount. In all, Mr. Bourke had a successful day. He steered his own horse, Mary’s Brother, to its first victory in a division of the maiden hurdle race. The Irish joqkey has been living in the United States for four years, bringing with him racing experience from England and Ireland. He rode in the 19K7 Virginia spring point-topoint circuit last year for the first time. Last year’s leading gentleman rider, Don Yovanovich, eartuii his first season win on his own Solo Drbit in tin second division u! the maiden hurdle race. Solo Orbit was a race Imrse in California who broke his maiden on the West Coast, but has always had a hanp-up with racing. according to Mr. Yovanovich. He doesn’t like to start, Mr. Yovanovich said, but he’s been working with him. “He has a little bit of a problem" still, the trainer admitted. “Every time I got in front, he put his toes in the ground.” Probably the happiest rider of the day was young Patrick Worrall who won his first start over timber.

'You can't do anything with your land.’ that’s approaching confiscation (and) condemnation," Mr. Luke continued. Referring to recent decisions of the I'.S. Supreme Court on zoning issues, he warned the board that if a landowner is deprived. even temporarily, of the use of property. "You’re getting into a situation where you may be brought into court and be successfully sued. "We have a moral and legal obligation to ensure (property owners) those rights we told them they had —the right to build a house on a lot (recorded by the county)." Supervisor Bingham emphasized. His proposed amendment, the Jackson Dostrict representative said, would send that message clearly to the BZA and Planning Commission. "We’re not trying to restrict the man's property rights,” said Supervisor Lane. "By God. I’m anti-government when it comes to regulating our rights!" But the situation in Rappahannock Lakes is unique and therefore best adressed with a variance, he said. “An amendment to the zoning ordinance would have broad and far-reaching ramifications that may not serve the county’s best interests . . . We want to correct past mistakes and work towards achieving the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan . . . The future of this county's planning rests a lot on w hat we do today.” Mr. Massie offered a motion essentially restating Mr. McCarthy’s position: that rezoning Rappahannock Lakes to another existing category with greater allowable density and less stringent setback regulations would violate the county’s stated policies and constitute illegal spot zoning while rezoning to a new category of non-conforming subdivision wouldn’t take into account other substandard developments elsewhere in the county. Therefore, his motion continued, the board sees no general regulation that could solve the variance problem in Rappahannock Lakes and still be in accord with the county’s comprehensive plan. “I have to question the legality of that." said Supervisor Bingham. Insisting that the property owner has a right to build a dwelling on lot 3, he maintained that his suggested amendment satisfies that right. "There is a process . . .” . “Through the approval of a variance," interjected Mr. McCarthy. “The man has a right to build ahouse, regardless of what his neighbors think ... No one at this table disagrees that he has a right to build a house. But we have to find a way that lets him do it without throwing a wrench into the county’s ordinances and comprehensive plan," Mr. Lane said. While acknowledging that the board cannot direct the BZA to a decision, he added, “I’d like to see it done through a variance.” Col. Bingham remained unconvinced. “The county did it,” he said, referring to the approval through recordation of the 70 lots in Rappahannock Lakes and similar little lots elsewhere in the county. “Where ever there’s a lot of little lots, there’s a lot of little people ...

A “certificate of title,*' issued by a title company or written by a lawyer, indicates that a seller has a marketable and insurable title to the property he is selling, but it does not offer as much protection as a title insurance policy.

And, when you want to put your property on the market, you can depend on our professional know-how to sell it for you! and restrict their use of the land.’’ Even if owners don’t intend to build houses on the substandard parcels, they'll lose because the county’s restrictions will reduce the value of the lots should they choose to sell, the Jackson District supervisor added. Asking for a legal opinion from the Commonwealth’s Attorney, Col. Bingham maintained that by correcting the setback problems with variances, the county would be “sowing the seeds of inconsistency.” Mr. Luke advised that the board could amend the zoning ordinance to include a new category for non-conforming subdivisions and specify that lots would “have to comply with existing setbacks where they could.” Where that was impossible, the lot owner would be allowed to build — without a variance — provided the percentage of the parcel covered by the structure did not exceed the average for the subdivision, he explained, adding that the supervisors would decide which of the county’s old substandard subdivisions would be rezoned to the non-conforming category. "But if we want to be consistent, how can we say one subdivision goes in this new category and another doesn't?" asked Supervisor Massie. “The zoning ordinance has had a legal opinion rendered on it already, and the ordinance provides for a variance to be issued,” Supervisor Lane pointed out. The snag, as far as Mr. Hur’s application is concerned, came because the BZA could not make its findings until it had a decision from the Board of Supervisors on whether a general regulation could be promulgated, Mr. Lane added. “We should humbly and carefully hand this back to the BZA with the additional information for them to consider, and no one’s rights will be restricted.” To Col. Bingham’s repeated request for a legal opinion, Mr. Massie noted that the supervisors are considering an ordinance amendment, which couldn’t be enacted at Monday’s meeting since state law requires zoning ordinance amendments be referred to the planning commission for advertised public hearing and recommendation before the supervisors act following a duly advertised public hearing of their own. “There's no question he can build a house there. We only need to figure out how to say ‘yes.’ This is a mechanical problem, not a legal question,” Mr. Lane contended, finding consensus among his fellow board members on that point. “We’ve gotten sidetracked,” said Mr. Lane, as the board took up the issue anew following a half-hour break. “We’ve been asked if we’ll amend the zoning ordinance for this specific case and the answer is ‘no.’ ” “It’s not in the best interests of the county to change the ordinance to fit this particular instance,” agreed Chairman Hubert Gilkey. With Col. Bingham opposed, the majority affirmed that the board finds no zoning ordinance amendment will redress the problem of setback compliance in the non-forming lots of the Rappahannock Lakes subdivision. Budget Continued from Page 1 ing to Dr. Gangel), the School Board was asked to adopt the budget as presented by the superintendent and send it with a strong endorsement to the Board of Supervisors. “Bravo for the combination art teacher and gifted and talented coordinator,” said Sharon Kilpatrick, adding that she hoped the additional RCES position survives as such rather than being switched to a fourth kindergarten teacher. Addressing salaries, she called for beginning teachers to receive at least the average of what is paid in surrounding counties. “It’s amazing the quality we have, considering the salaries we pay,” Mrs. Kilpatrick noted, adding that with new teachers, Rappahannock must “take what’s left after other school systems pick and choose.” She also suggested that (1) the proposed index scale for administrators be based on the 15th step in the teachers’ pay scale rather than the 25th, which she described as a bonus for loyalty to the system rather than a salary step, (2) the School Board’s proposed contribution to the seventh grade’s annual class trip to Williamsburg be upped to cover at least the cost of transportation, and (3) the bus replacement cycle continue to alternate between a single bus one year and two the next. Addressing the composite index figure, she pointed out that Rappahannock’s perceived ability to pay for education bears no relation to the recent reassessment of county real estate. The state doesn’t U!?e assessment values but rather actual sales figures in determining the local tax base and revenue-generating capabilities, she explained. In conclusion, Mrs. Kilpatrick urged the School Board not to try to • second guess the Supervisors by cutting the proposed budget to the minimum for doing the job of educating the county’s children. “Ask for what’s needed to do the job right, and let the Supervisors deal with what they think the taxpayers will stand for." Jean Berta, the only other speaker at Tuesday’s session, supported the budget as presented by the superintendent. The School Board had intended to begin its review’ of the budget after the regular monthly business was completed, but a long executive meeting for personnel matters and legal briefings brought postponement of the budget work session until next Tuesday.

After clearing the fence at the bottom of the mountain. Tingles Image lost his footing and fell, while Classic Ribot forged into the lead. The leaders tired and, as the rest of the field made their final challenges, Mr. Worrall let his horse have his head and they ran smoothly between the posts for a clear win over Grab the Money and Run with Mike Elmore and Cookin 'N Loo kin with Paul B. Cramer Jr. Another young rider, Mary Grachus, got her first taste of victory in a pony race earlier that day. This was 12-year-old Mary’s first race ever and the Keswick Hunt rider hopes to ride in many more. “My mom asked me one day if I wanted to do it, so I just decided it would be fun,” she said. Gus Brown of The Plains won the large pony division on Down Homer, a pony he campaigned throughout the 1987 season. Gus has worked with his pony for months in preparation for the racing season, and though only two pony races will be held in Virginia this spring, he hopes to ride on the Delaware Valley Point-to-Point Circuit. Rounding out the day, all eyes turned to the course to watch a new addition to point-to-point racing, a race nobly named the Great Rappahannock Mule Race. Thirteen mules were entered for this spirited contest over a half-mile of turf. The first mules across the finish line won trophies, but the race didn’t stop there. Mule riders were then allowed a run at a barrel upon which sat three bags of money, one with 50 silver dollars, another $15, the other $10, each identified by a different color ribbon. Starter Bobby Green chased the reluctant mules away from the starting line, wildy waving his flag to get them going. As they came toward home, Suzie, probably the Piedmont’s most popular mule, moved well into the lead and finished with 12 lengths to spare over Frances, Redbud and Jane, Charles A. Selby, Scot Edwards and Hedi Peal, respectively, riding. “She beat them on the hill,” a flushed and happy Samantha Williams said, gripping the $50 worth of silver she scooped up after the successful race. "She really boogied.” Miss Williams, who foxhunts her mule, races her in old-fashioned point-to-points and sometimes even decks out for side-saddle classes at hunter shows, attributes her great egates according to their percentage vote totals. Another 10 delegates, including Gov. Gerald Baliles and party officials, will attend the convention as uncommitted delegates. The state’s Republicans will choose their 50 delegates to the party’s convention in New Orleans in a series of district caucuses leading to the state convention in June.
